Chapter 17

Walking along the Huayin trail for a while, suddenly there was a sound of chasing horses in his ears, Wen Yu looked for the sound, and saw a group of boys and girls on horseback competing to swing on the lawn a few meters away Hit the ball to form a beautiful landscape.

Ti Zhen looked in his direction, "Pan Hongzhang is from Xianbei, and Xianbei is the most equestrian. Every festive wedding banquet, he will form a team to fight and give the winner the title of 'Batuer', which means: horseback warriors."

Wen Yu took a step towards the porch, and as soon as he stood still, someone picked up a lantern stand full of yellow and green lanterns and put it in the shade on one side. After a while, people began to take their own inscriptions, and then hung them on the hanging wall around the polo field. on the light stand.

Wen Yu turned around and asked, "This lantern?"

Tizhen raised her head, and the beads on the side of her bun swayed like light waves, "The two-color lanterns represent the two teams on the field. Players can write down the amount of money they bet on the lanterns of the corresponding colors, and the results will be notified after the game is over, or Win silver or lose silver."

Wen Yuan frowned and looked at it for a long time, then muttered, "If the ball is lost after writing the lantern, and the person runs away, won't there be a fine?"

Tizhen put both hands together, "Guess, is it possible that after you finished writing the lantern, you will come to collect your money?" Man turned around, "If Pan Hongzhang can't even keep the money, he won't have to do his job. "

Wen Yuan asked again, "Then what if I really have no money?"

Ti Zhen smiled and pinched the willow waist, "Then I can only sell you."

Wen Yuan pouted her mouth, delicately rubbing the satin flower on her belt.

Danmu, with the sound of drumming, the people on the field gradually dispersed, only to see a maid in a crimson curly train holding a square box and putting it on a high shelf.When Yingying lifted it, it was a piece of Fu Lu Shou three-color jadeite with a bright luster.

Tizhen supported the railing on one side and propped up her chin, "This should be the winning polo game." She turned to look at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu raised his long eyelashes slightly, a trace of bewilderment flashed across his eyes, he took a slow breath and then held his breath.

Ti Zhen saw that he had something on his mind, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yu's eyes were heavy, and the circles of his eyes were slightly red, "Then Yujue...is my mother's birthday gift to me, how could it be?"

The things in the palace have always been shelved and never left in the world, but now they are poured out in a large amount. It is nothing more than eunuchs and palace maids who escaped from the Pingyang coup and stole them out of the palace. It is not a rare rumor among the people here.

Tizhen understood, turned her head and ordered, "Wenxiu, go tell Pan Hongzhang..."

Wen Yu interrupted her.

"No need." Wen Yu looked at the deep clouds in the distance, "Since this is a competition, it should be fair and just. If you make an exception, you will lose your sense of justice."

"What's more, as time goes by, flowers bloom and fall naturally."

Wen Yu said with a smile on his face, but he was helpless in his heart. He had an old leg disease and couldn't ride a horse. Even if he wanted to fight for it, he was powerless.

Seeing that his eyes were like the leaves rustling in the autumn wind, Tizhen seemed to have some difficulties that he couldn't get rid of, so she was lost in thought for a while.

Guan Tong stood in a corner, listening to their conversation silently, and couldn't help but look at Wen Yu's legs, and that glance happened to bump into Ti Zhen.

He quietly avoided, and Tizhen had already noticed, "I heard that you can tell fortunes?" The corner of her lips slightly raised, "Then you help me figure it out, if I play, is the chance of winning big enough?"

Guan Tong smiled peacefully, "The slave's hexagrams are always inaccurate. If a good hexagram turns into a bad hexagram and it proves to be true on Miss Shi, it will be the slave's fault."

"So the world is not run by heaven, but by people. What people want, sometimes they have to rely on themselves, and sometimes they have to rely on others."

Tizhen smiled sweetly, and immediately took off the fringe waffle dangling from her ear temples, put it into Wenxiu's arms, took off a loop from the suspension on one side, and walked towards the center of the court while tying up her sleeves.

She got on the horse on the leash, and her skirt fell down.

There was a sound of beating drums.

Tizhen galloped on the horse, and Yaoyao hit the ball at the moment it hit the ground. He saw the ball like a star, his stick like a moon, and the dust that was stirred up along with the flying horse was also accompanied by thick smoke.

The people on the field fought for the ball, but Wen Yu's eyes followed that shadow from far or near, immersed in the past for a moment.I think of the red-clothed horse when he saw her for the first time, and of her stealing peony flowers when he was visiting the garden in Shanglinyuan.

Every scene is a beautiful and charming scenery.

Maybe people are selfish, once he just wanted to be happy to see her, but after seeing her one time after another, he became more and more dissatisfied and wanted to see her every day.For Tizhen, it is a breeze at the fingertips, but for him, it is gained and lost again, and lost and gained again.

I saw that Yaoyao was a little red, and flew into the opposite hole.When a drum is knocked down, the end of the song stops.

Tizhen strode forward, smiling brightly, "This is something you like, you can only know if it is yours after you fight for it." Holding Yujue into Wen Yu's hand, "So I fought for it for you, It's yours now."

There was a gentle smile between Wen Yu's eyebrows, and she slowly took it away and put it into her sleeve pocket, and seeing her fragmented hair blowing away in the wind, she gently tugged at her cuff, "Let me help you comb your hair again." .”

Tizhen stroked her temples, smiled and said, "Then this time I want Lingyun Feihuan bun."

The Nuan Pavilion has been carefully arranged long ago. The golden lotus brocade carpet has a strong fragrance of condensation, and all the rouge powder and hair comb oil are placed in front of the bronze mirror on one side.

Wen Yu ran the comb along her hair, and slowly dipped jasmine oil into the hair bit by bit. Ti Zhen looked seriously in the mirror, but still didn't know how his ten fingers were entwined. The braids were very orderly and very easy to handle. She combed a piece of hair that she didn't know how to comb.

Wen Yu looked at her, his eyes were like foggy mountains and waters, "Yesterday, I received a reply from King Zhongshan and a reply from my uncle."

Ti Zhen did the same calculation, "When are you going to Chang'an?"

"Depart at three o'clock at Yinshi the next day." Wen Yuzhuren was as clear as morning dew, "I have something I want to give to you personally, tomorrow... can you come to my residence for a while?"

Tizhen's bright eyes were kind, and she nodded in agreement.

Wen Yu asked cautiously, "Are you feeling better?"

Ti Zhen was taken aback, "I've always been in good health, but you've given me so many calming tonics one after another." Suddenly she smiled quietly, "Are you afraid that I'd get sick from the shock of the last assassination?"

She curled her lips and smiled, "I took over the burden of Shi Fang for my mother, and I was assassinated 33 times in one year alone, so it doesn't make much difference to me if I have one more time or less time."

Wen Yu's expression calmed down, and she listened to her in detail: "Our family's income is originally the money on the tip of the knife. How much risk we make and how much profit we make, this has been recorded in our ancestors. The Shi family in Anyang originally relied on plundering. He robbed the family of officials and merchants, and became an official after accumulating wealth and becoming famous."

Ti Zhen squeezed a cup of tea, moistened her throat, and her voice became more and more bleak.

"Maybe it's because of the unrighteousness of taking money. Almost all the patriarchs of the Shi family in Anyang died in bad ways. My great-grandfather and great-grandfather died of assassination, my grandfather died of quicksand, and my father was not good at managing it. So Shifang was handed over to my mother. Later, even my mother died unexpectedly."

Wen Yu sighed, "Who hurt your mother?"

She twitched the corner of her mouth, "Pingyang Sun."

Wen Yu let out a long cry, so this is the reason why the Sun family in Pingyang was overthrown.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, which made the peach blossom branches outside the pavilion sway.Wen Yu wanted to reach out to comfort her hand, but he stopped when the sound of footsteps from the audience hit his ears.

The servant beat a thousand times across the curtain, "The boat banquet is ready, Master Pan specially asked the slaves to invite the young lady and young master to the table."

The name of the cruise ship night banquet sounds elegant, but in fact there is nothing elegant about it. Apart from the endless music and singing, the most common thing is the back and forth between the guests and the host. In other words, after congratulating Pan Hongzhang, he just returned to the gauze curtain to drink for himself.

Seeing Wen Yu staring out of the window in a daze, Ti Zhen leaned over and said, "Now the water looks beautiful. When the sun goes down, light the lanterns on the lake, and that will be a beautiful sight."

Wen Yu pushed a bowl of lotus seed soup to her, "Cold wine is not good for your body, drink some hot to keep you warm."

"But let's offer Pan Hongzhang a glass of congratulations." Ti Zhen took a spoon to scoop it up and joked, "It's better for this person to be mysterious, not everyone can afford my wine."

As she spoke, she poured a cup for him herself, "Taste it."

Wen Yu took a sip, "Grape juice?"

Ti Zhen nodded, Wen Yu lifted her lips and smiled lightly, "No wonder Miss Shi can drink a lot."
